Tsqneti Vacations from $595

Amazing hotel with amazing staff. Rooms are very spacious and comfy. They gave us breakfast for free once and got as a gift for our birthday. Tamta is amazing with all her help and support. Advise everyone to come to this place. You will love it. Excellent location and best place

Great Old Town location, but hard to find, even for locals. Don’t get me wrong, they have been walking by it for decades, but it wasn’t a hotel then and the name of the street was different. That has to do with the Old Town being completely reinvented. In late 1800s most of the streets had Russian names as it was a major regional trading hub that brought together people native to Caucasus. Later, those names changed to Georgian revolutionaries and then to others. Even people who used to live in that area in 1970s hardly recognize parts of the Old Town. The hotel is well-built with nice materials. The hall is nice and spacious, but the rooms are small and minimally furnished and the bathrooms are inconvenient (one needs to step into the shower area to be able to open the bathroom door). On the positive side, the rooms were spotless, the climate control worked well and the breakfast was very good, with quite a few choices. The hotel staff was exceedingly polite and pleasant – be it the front desk, the cafeteria ladies or the cleaning crew. All of them, besides their native Georgian, spoke good English, Russian and some – in addition – Armenian and other languages. I’d like to specifically mention Lali and Tekla from the front desk, Elene from the cafeteria and Elsa from the cleaning crew. Overall, we are happy to have stayed at the Strofi hotel and won’t mind returning there if those drawbacks with the minimalistic furnishing and layout of the rooms are addressed and resolved.

A Unique location and property. We stayed in the largest suite which sadly has been decorated rather oddly (leather sofas and a giant chandelier that belongs in a beach resort in Tulum not in an ancient Georgian castle) The second bed in the suite was lumpy and uncomfortable. However the staff was polite, the pool unique and the location/ambiance was incredible. Just for the experience of staying in a hotel that old, I would recommend it.
